SAMUEL GOMPERS. ola constitution. The report of the treasury committee was adopted. It regrets that many associations have failed to pay their per capita tax.
 The report of the committee on officers was then submitted. It suggested that two delegates be selected to attend the congress of trades unions in London in 1888. This was stricken out, the federation contenting itself with recommending that trades unions send delegates to that congress. The report also recommended q reduction in the hours of labor and to obtain better legislation for workingmen. It had the following ill refer ence to the Knights of Labor, which was adopted by rising vote:
 The growth of the Federation is due to the fact that the men who are employed in any par ticuar branch of industry understand the nature of it and the difficulties connected with it better than those who are unacquainted with the trade, and have therefore resolved to join the organiZa- tion that accords them the right of self-control that the strikes which have taken place within the past few years in connection with the K. of l.. have made the members of that body discon- tented with the management of their affairs, aS it has been customary to allow strikes involving tens of thousands of men to take place. and after their local funds were exhaustel order them back to work. There is strong sentiment pre- vailing and rapidly increasing among working men that open organizations are best. The atti- tude of the Knights of Labor towards many of
 
 Federation of Labor has been anything but friendly, and while their declaration of principles advocates assistance to trades unions. their prac tices in many cases have been entirely foreign to those principles. While we agree that.a conflict is not desirable on our part, we also believe that the party or power which seeks to exterminate the trades unions of this country should be met with unreentng opposition, whether that power consists of millionaire employers men who title themselves Knights of Labor.
 President Gompers introduced a resolution expressing satisfaction at the efforts being made to establish treaty between the United States and Great Britain looking to the settlement by arbitration of all questions difficult of solution through the ordinary diplomatic channels, and thanking Wm. R. Cremer, M. F., for his exposition of the object of his visit to this country. MT. Joseph Wilkinson tackled on the following amendmept:
 And we also extend our sympathies to the peo- pie of Ireland in their struggle for self govern ment, and condemn the present policy of the British government in the coercion of the Irish people.
 Referred to committee.
 The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Samuel Gompers, New York; first vice-president Daniel Mo- Laughlin, Braidwood, Ills; second vice. president, William Martin, Pittsburg; secre- urer, Gabriel Edmonston, Washington.
 St. Louis was chosen as the place for hold ing the next convention, and the convention adjourned until today.
